I am excited for this. And Ha Ji Won is one of my favorite actresses, she's also very beautiful.

lol Ha Ji Won, why looks so sad? XD Not getting the hype of the drama after watching the original series since the female lead character is so annoying. I hope the writer will put something to make the female lead character more likable and more comedy in korean version. Anyway, good luck.

Ha Ji Won does seem too serious right? Or maybe she's always so serious at scriptreading session? I hope this drama will turn out to be good. The casts are excellent, the PD-writer pair also good.
Can't wait to see this drama on air!!

Argh I hate what they've done with the script and characters. Why do they always have to insert their cheesy cliche plots?! The story and characters were fine just as they were in the original. I'm only gonna watch this cause of Ha Ji Won, but they've already managed to ruin it for me before it even started.

Yoon Kyun-sang i love. But can he carry the 2nd lead role? Especially opposite ha ji won. I hope he ca cause i'd be so disappointed if it does nor haplen aincw i love the original veraion to bits...

Don't know why the cast seems lackluster to me, even with the mighty fine Ha Ji Won. And wae no hot ex?
I love Taiwanese version a lot so i will keep an eye on this one. Who knows, it may turn out nice.

Errr, there will be a mom's abandoning issue in the remake? I know a remake doesn't have to be precise, but why does it have to be that issue? Whae K Drama God? Can I have my male lead character without parental up bringing problem, pretty please? :/

i prefer call this drama as an adaptation instead of remake...

Just in case anyone's feeling nostalgic after reading about the changes, I made a music video for the original drama last year. Now, even if the remake doesn't like up to our expectations, we can still drown in the angsty/cuteness (or at least enjoy a re-watch, lol).

I want to see Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin reunited again !!

Hearing about the changes really, really makes me nervous. In Time With You is by far my favorite Taiwanese drama so the drastic changes are making me anxious. I loved how grounded the original was but the mother issues and other changes just makes it seem cliche.

So are they gonna play their younger selves? It'll be funny to see them in high school uniforms! Ahaha.

Agree with so many of the comments here. Director Winnie was able to transcend classic cliches to give audiences something unique, meaningful, and a bit nostalgic of what it means to have a grounded love relationship in the modern world. Not going to make any judgments, but this news just turned me from cautiously expectant to disappointed passivity.

May check it out bc of the main leads. For their sakes, I hope this turns out well, especially given the Low ratings broadcast time.

So many very conflicting opinions. I have not seen the original and cannot tell from the posts if this is going to be much good or not. Sounds a little like something I remember called 9 and 2 outs.

This was hands down one of the best Taiwanese dramas and I sincerely hope Korea doesn't screw it up like they did with Fated To Love You.

I have such high hopes for this drama that it might just kill me.

I think all of these plot changes is to get higher ratings since I don't think ahjummas will watch it if there isn't any mom-abandoning-son and chaebols in the plot.

Can't say I'm surprised. Who in the world chose this writer? Might as well go back and watch the original to forget about this...

But...Li Da Ren is close to his Mom and Sister...his only emotional issue was their hang up from high school until now and how he just can't spit it out

Sunny's character was kind of like a chaebol I guess...

Yeah no...remake in name only?

Really k-drama? Can't do away with the cliches?

I didn't like that we have a chaebol second lead, and now we have a lead with mommy issues. I'm still watching but not too excited. :(

Definitely disappointed with some of the changes they made in this remake. I already feel like it won't have the same feel and sincerity as the original so I'll try to keep my expectations low. Part of what made me love the original was the supporting cast and their interactions with the main leads. All the people in the original version seemed so real and fleshed out. It's like looking at the day to day lives of people you know. I think this will be more an adaptation than a remake. Hopefully this one will have the same heartwarming and simple yet sincere tone to it like the original.

Aren't they both great kissers, like for realsss kissing and not that lips-on-lips nonsense?

Daebak!

Remake or adaptation I don't care as long as the storyline could convince me to watch. The actings also important. Some actors are versatile in their roles and some of them are not. I hope Ha Ji Won could prove that she can act with more range of characters. Not a fan of Lee Jin Wook though. I even don't know the reason. Maybe his expressions kinda bland? Lack of screen presence? I don't know exactly lol. But I'll give him chance to prove me wrong.

I'm looking forward to this drama.It is HJW.Glad she's playing a new role..Pretty sure she'll play the bitch character well.At the start ,she used to play the villain.As far as chemistry,I read before that it does'nt matter whom she's opposite with even with a tree she'll have chemistry.

Whew!
I just easily felt excited while looking at those pics!
I have all faith with the QUEEN-HaJiWon.
She can give justice to any role she had played and even her co male stars took credits to that.
No matter what other say or will say..
This is a remake.
A new twist is coming.
Whether in the plot or roles of the character.
May it be a cliche or not.
Let's admit it.
Fan or not,they felt the excitement too.
FIGHTING!

I was soooo excited for this remake but reading the character summary above, i'm now apprehensive.

The reason why a lot of people fell in love with the original version (In Time with You), myself included was because of it's mundaneness. The characters are simple, ordinary, working class types and in that sense their story became relatable.

I am not really feeling how they are taking liberties with characterization. I just feel that sooner or later like all the other jdramas and tdramas that i love and which Korea has remade, this will once again be full of dramatics and will eventually turn melo that there comes a point that i just cannot understand anymore how they are paying tribute to the original work because it seems more like they are botching it big time ( yes, i'm talking about you Boys Over Flowers, To the Beautiful You and Operation: Proposal)

Ariel and Bolin were superb in this series. Every line that they deliver, every nuance that they make touches me in a place deep down to my core because there is a subtle reference in their gestures and in their words about the depth of their love for each other that they dare not speak even if they are just talking about her leaving snot on his shirt or they are just buying pads for her period.

But more than that, their family is a central element to the story. I loved them as much as i loved the leads so this whole thing about Jin Wook's mother abandoning him in this version does not bode well with me when the mother-son and mother-lead actress relationship in the original gives so much more depth to the story and it was nothing short of being wonderful.

ITWY was a gem. It's writer and director geniuses because they made the drama's viewers feel feels just by the poetry of painting similes on shots and dialogues without banking on formulaic characters common to Asian dramas and without pulling out the big guns of dramatics and histronics.

I have no doubt Jin Wook and Ha Ji Won can deliver on the acting front the same way that Bolin and Ariel did. I' m just scared that it's the writing that will send this version downhill and i love this drama too much to watch it happen.

I'd give it a chance and try my best to be positive though.

I just hope I am wrong with these doubts Because In Time With You is the kind of drama that immediately goes up to one's list of all time favorites and it would be a disservice to the original if first time viewers would base their judgment on this version and they turn out to be shortchanged just because it is not as magical and as heartstopping as how us, bigtime fans of the drama, paint it out to be.

oh gosh, I really can't wait for this drama to start.
so many plus points I almost have to reign myself not to chuckle in glee.
1. there's no actor slated to work on this drama that I don't have affection for.
2. the premise is dear to my heart. friends to lovers, argh, what could be more perfect than that!!!
3. no noona romance (yeah, i just don't subscribe to the trend)
4. it's Ha Ji-WON!!!!

Oh nooooooooooooo this cast is really awful when they made Fated to love you turned out better than the original for me, but this drama is really beautiful and I feel that Ha Ji Won is way to old for this and I really don't find her likeble at all, the whole cast is meh I just want Lee Jin-wook to have a hit because he is really a good actor but I can't stand Ji Won's bad acting she is good but not for rom coms. I think I pass I just hope thet the don't destroy this beautiful drama, people should watch the original even when I have never been a fan of Ariel and I kind of hate her acting too, the drama as a full is really good.

I'm excited, I think the lead actors are amazing, and I have faith in the production team. Yeah, there are minor plot changes, but would you really want to see the exact same show but in Korean? I don't think so. Everyone is entitled to their own interpretation of the source material. I don't get the disappointment over the second lead not being hot, he's a bit young, but the original character was a jerk, so I look forward to Yoon Kyun Sang playing that out. Fun fact: did you know that Bolin Chen (who played the lead in the Taiwanese drama) plays Lee Jin Wook's character in the Chinese remake of the Korean movie Miss Granny? Sounds like fate to me!

This looks promising. :) I like both leads so hopefully this will turn out well. I also found the female lead in the original version annoying at times. But like with FTLY the original version the female lead was also annoying but in the Korean remake I liked her so much more. Could be because Jang Nara was the actress. I have faith that Ha Hi Won will do a great job. Yay finally a drama I can anticipate :). I think LJW as the male lead is perfect. Somehow he looks a bit like the male lead in the Taiwanese version . Both good looking surely but they have the same gaze, the earnest puppy kind. Lol

He was abandoned?! And where is his sister?? I always loved that he was stucked between 2 fiesty women all his life nly to end up loving a fiesty woman himself. haha It also made sense that the only guy she was going to get was a guy who had experience dealing with strong women.

The biggest problem I have with the remake now is the runaway Mum. Da Ren Ge's Mum and Uncle Bai were warm, sweet and funny, like an older version of the lead OTP, and removing that is a big change to the dynamic of the story. Plus, of course, You Qing was not an easy character to like, and it really needed someone with Ariel's spectacular level of innate, intrinsic cuteness, to make her at all likeable. HJW doesn't exude that at all, for me.

OMG!!! I can't wait for this!!! I love the taiwanese version I hope this drama would be awesome!!!

I've never watched Original version before. That's why i can't wait to see that lovely couple. I really like Lee jin Wook not only for his good looking but also for his amazing acting skill..

L infinite just a cameo. Oh nooo
